On the "Sofa"

On Tuesday I spent from 12-2pm on Lesley Dolphin's "sofa" at BBC Radio Suffolk in the Ipswich studio. Actually it was an ordinary seat with the view shown by the photo above. Fortunately for the listeners I didn't have to talk for two hours, but was interviewed by Lesley in between news, travel, weather - and competitions.

The lyric competition asked for the original singer and title of:

"Take a look at her hair, it's real. If you don't believe what I say, just feel. I'm gonna lock her up in a trunk so no big hunk can steal her away from me"

As the answer is much easier than Lesley's usual competitions I just about got the answer, although I confused it with the flip side lyrics.

Yes, it was Living Doll. The first time I heard this was in the early 70's by a famous glamrock band of the day. They were called Mud. What's it like "On the sofa"? I believe Beccy and I are doing it sometime in the near future about my Channel Swim Attempt in July(www.HoffysChannelSwim.org.uk).

Your last comment could be construed as homophobic.I am a male Cliff Richard fan and I too am prepared to publicly say he is wonderful. I am anonymous, however, because I do not want my comments to be ridiculed publicly.

I can see this blog site suddenly dissapearing and re-appearing at an "invited guests only site" somewhere in the depths of the Internet! I note I didn't get a response to my question "What's it like on Lesley Dolphin's sofa". Any reason why not?

I think Cliff Richards is absolutely fantastic. I am a male and I hope that I look as good as him when I am his age. I am writing anonymously because I actually fancy him but I haven`t yet come out and I don`t want people in Bury to know who I am.
